Throughout the United States and a number of other countries on Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, January 15, 2017, writers will meet to protect our democratic freedoms.
To represent the Houston community, over 70+ Houston poets and writers of diverse backgrounds (African American, Latinx, Asian American, LGBTQIA, and other groups) will come together to share messages of peace, democracy, unity and hope.
There are two events planned in Houston, Texas:
1) #WritersResist//Houston: “We Too Sing America” – on Jan. 15th.

2) #WritersResist//Houston: “Let Us Gather” – on Jan. 20th.
